☆Training a group of Singapore school teachers on how to play Pokemon Go?☆

“If learners think it looks bad, you may have lost a good percentage of the battle in getting them to pay attention!"

Having done stand up training for close to 7 years, I've realized the importance of engagement = retention of learning.

But how can a trainer/facilitator/coach/presenter engage their audience?

• Be present at the moment?
• Be authentic, real & sincere?
• Be clear (with your purpose)?

You can have the best slides and tools, but if your values as a trainer/facilitator/coach/presenter isn’t right, you’re gonna have a lot of trouble engaging and ensuring their take away is fruitful.

It's easy to do up a clean set of slides and a beautiful set of tools but those values/traits is something that not everyone is able to master it so quickly.

What are your thoughts?
